Can A Mirena Coil Curve Upwards?

I had Mirena IUD insterted 3 days ago. I can feel something when i do a self exam, but i don t know if its a string. Its curved and very high up- hard to find. I am not in pain (stopped last night). Is this a concern? Should the string be a curved thing up that high?

Hi, I think you are feeling the string of coil. But if you want to be sure of that, get a pelvic examination done by a gynecologist to confirm that.
